It was a great privilege to have been recognised and presented with the Entrepreneur of the Month award last night by Simon Clark, who runs the Peterborough region of the Entrepreneur's Circle
@AndyGriffithsX I know what you mean, Andy. There's an art to knowing specifically what to ask for, what boundaries to set, provide some examples of expected outputs from specific inputs (and combinations of inputs), and then validating, integrating and testing.
@lukesprosser Hey Luke... it's been a while!
I began learning JS many years ago from a thick book called The JavaScript Bible. I'm sure I still have it somewhere, but things have moved on since!
@markblundellf1@TheToroCompany Looks fun, Mark, but I know that you're secretly getting some time behind the wheel so you can give @JakeHillDriver some stiff competition for the season ahead!
@lukesprosser Happy Markup day, Luke!
Mine began back in 1996, when frames and tables were the main building blocks for page design.
Layers with text over images was not a thing, but at least being able to hover over an element made things like nav menus mega exciting!
Here's to '98 retro!
@codingmilf It would be like trying to print off a copy of the internet, oblivious to millions of things having changed even before the display on the printer has lit up and about to print p1!
But serious, having a narrow focus and not being attracted to tons of other things can be hard.
@lukesprosser Indeed. It helps with positioning, alignment, space adjustment, etc., whether you're deep inside grid, flex, or just trying to get stuff to sit right.
And... switch colour when designing for mobile, and other screen variants. It can be such a simple way to get clarity on things.
Anyone else suffering from daily follows from scantily clad women who are clearly bogus due to their profiles showing ZERO posts but 1000s of follows?
I'm convinced it can't be my natural charm which is drawing their attention!
Anyway, they get immediately blocked. Anyone else?
Use colour variables such as:
--boxShade:rgba(5,35,62,0.6);
in use > color: var(--boxShade);
--h2Color:#05233e;
in use > color: var(--h2Color);
Vars helps with consistency and manageability, and also makes it easier to apply light and dark mode options for visitors to select.
